LYNEHAM HIGH SCHOOL
YEAR 7 CAMP 2015
Dear Parents/Carers,
The purpose of this camp is to introduce students to a new environment, for students to meet new
people and have a lot of fun.
The Year 7 Camp is focused on building positive relationships with peers, senior students in the
school and staff. The activities undertaken during the three days are designed to be interesting,
engaging and challenging. Students will work in small teams to build confidence and resilience as
well as challenge and enjoy themselves. Our Year 10 Peer Support Leaders will have a mentoring role
during the camp.
The camp will be run by Action Learning Initiatives Pty Ltd (ALI). ALI is an outdoor education
company located in Jindabyne which runs programs for schools in NSW, the ACT and Victoria. ALI is a
member of the Outdoor Recreation Industry Council of NSW (ORIC) and is also a national training
provider (NTP) for Australian Canoeing.
More information on ALI and the camp we will be attending can be found at

Voluntary Contributions/Levy’s Form. It would be appreciated if you could please pay your deposit of
$175 to the front office by Friday 5 December 2014. Please feel free to contact the Principal, in
confidence, if your family is experiencing financial hardship.
Due to the large number of students in Year 7, we are running two separate camps. Each camp is
identical to the other. The camp groups will be divided into Home Groups and these allocations will
be made early next year. The camp is held during Week 5. The first group (Group 1) will be attending
camp on Monday, Tuesday and returning to school on Wednesday afternoon. The second
group(Group 2) will be attending camp on Wednesday, Thursday and returning to school on Friday
afternoon.
It is essential that each student attending camp complete a swim test before attending the camp.
This will be done at the Year 7 Swim and Survive Day at Dickson Pool on Tuesday 3 February.
The Lyneham High School Song
Rise up and sing the praise of Lyneham High
And pledge a fellowship of friends.
We'll work and make our hope of progress be
A bond that never ends
Walk the pathway that the studious choose
Play the game but win or lose
Our emblem blazoned in maroon and blue
Will foster all things true
Come sing again the song of Lyneham High
Her name forever be renowned;
And when we leave to choose a path of life
Her lessons we shall find sound
Youthful friendships with the years will grow
As the years roll on we'll know
Our emblem blazoned in maroon and blue
Will foster all things true
